A year-long journey through the native plants of Texas.
Texas is tough on plants.
Brutal summers. Unpredictable freezes. Clay soil. Drought. Flash floods. Deer.
Most plants aren't built for this. But some are.
52 plants, to be exact. Plants that evolved here. Plants that thrive here. Plants that can handle whatever Texas throws at them.
Every week for the next year, I'll send you one Texas tough plant:
✓ What it looks like and where it grows
✓ How to use it in your landscape
✓ Why it thrives in Texas conditions
✓ Real examples from my San Antonio yard
By this time next year, you'll know 52 plants that won't quit on you.
No more buying plants that die in July. No more wasting money on things that can't handle Texas. Just tough, beautiful, resilient plants that belong here.
